Commission to re-hear Liberty case
By ROBERT S. MARHSALL
Associate News Editor
The University of Miami Student Government Supreme Court has dropped its decision to disqualify the Liberty ticket, but has asked UM’s elections commission to re-hear charges against the group.
The court’s action means, barring unforeseen occurences, SG will have its new president tomorrow afternoon, said Marc Oster, speaker of SG’s senate.
Who the president will be, however, is unclear.
The election commission was scheduled to hear a case pending against the Liberty ticket last night at 8 p.m., after The Miami Hurricane's deadline.
The commission's decision will determine whether or not Troy Bell and the Liberty ticket are disqualified from the spring SG elections. If they are, the Impact ticket candidates will be inaugurated into their respective seats.
The case concerns an alleged violation of campaigning rules by Liberty ticket members, who are accused of displaying balloons at the Rathskeller, where campaigning is not allowed.
The commission originally dismissed the complaint.
Impact appealed the dismissal to the supreme court, which assessed Liberty two violation points, puting the ticket over the 20 points required for disqualification.
Liberty presidential candidate Troy Bell alleged the court overstepped its authority and acted unfairly, so Manny Anon, chief justice of the court, remanded the case to the commission.
Laura Adams, election commission chairperson, said of the Supreme Court: “I know they acted in good faith, but they simply should have reverted the case back (to the election commiarion] far n <
sion. There Is a very grey area In the constitution an
to whether or not the Supreme Court can assess points.”
Anon said that, after further review of the case upon the request of Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. William Butler, the court felt It would be appropriate to remand the case back to the election commission with specific Instructions as to how the case is to be handled.
“Everything has to be written out as to what the accusations are and who the witnesses will be,” Anon said. “After that, the decision is up to the election commission.”
Anon added that the only appeals allowable would be on the basis of procedure or severity.
“With the instructions I provided, I don’t think that there will be a question of procedure. As to severity, I doubt that would be appealed either." Anon added that regardless of the decision, Impact will probably not be able to appeal.
“The problem is that in the summer the (election] rules were changed and they’re rather complicated. We thought we were in a position to rule in final apellate jurisdiction and according to what we believed the wording meant, we were right.”
Oster said he would wait to swear in the new president until tomorrow to allow 24 hours for appeal after the decision. Oster said he is also considering holding the ceremony in the office of SG President Freddie Stebbins to avoid interuption or disturbance of the ceremony.
“Nowhere is it written the oath has to be administered any particualar place. I could even do it in a dormitory room,’’ Oster said.
Parking fee may increase
Cost could go to $75 per year
By AMY ELLIS
News Editor
Students at the University of Miami could be paying $75 to park on campus next year if a proposal to increase the annual parking fee is acccepted by Provost Luis Glaser.
The proposed increase of $25 over the current $50 fee wouldbe used to fund the construction of an on-campus parking garage, according to Joe Frechette, director of Public Safety.
On Thursday, Frechette proposed the increase to UM’s parking advisory committee and appeals board, which makes suggestions to the provost about the parking situation and also hears parking ticket appeals.
The committee, which lacked quorum last Thursday, will reconsider the proposal this Thurs-
take to come up with enough money for the garage? I don’t think it (the increase] is the answer.”
Carolyn Salisbury, president of Roadrunners Commuter Student Organization and a student representative on the parking committee, said students will not stand for the increase.
“The student body has gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to parking, and I refuse to let it happen again,” Salisbury said. “A 50 percent increase is outrageous. I feel confident the students, faculty and employees will unite and defeat this insulting proposal.”
As a member of last year's parking committee, Salisbury authored a proposal to set aside $10 of each student’s parking fee for a “seed fund” to build a garage.
The proposal has already generated close to $100.000 for the garage. Salisbury said, and was done with the hope the administration would add to the fund. Salisbury said It ta not fair to i to pay the total cast
$8,000-and build.”
Robert Fuerst, director of academic services and chairperson of the parking committee, said he is against the Increase.
“It's too much money for students, employees and faculty to be expected to pay, and the time frame is not realistic,” Fuerst said. “How manv years will it
stu-
Salisbury added that the funds for the garage should be taken from the over 1400 million generated by the University’s ongoing fund-raising campaign.
“Palm trees are great, but this campus needs a parking garage,” Salisbury said.

Sapp appointed Eaton master
By C.L. BISHOP
Staff Writer
After six years of involvement with the University of Miami residential college system, Dr. Stephen Sapp, associate professor of religion, will assume the role of Eaton master.
His appointment follows the departure of Dr. Pamela Ferguson, who has completed her three-year stint as master.
Sapp will be joined by his wife. Dr. Mary Sapp, UM’s director of
planning and institutional research, who will unofficially serve as his co-master. Their two sons, Eric, 13, and David, 10, will also share the Eaton master’s residence.
Sapp said he and his wife will both be acting as masters. The reason they were not both offi-cally appointed is because the master must be a tenured faculty member, according to Sapp. He said it is “a technicality in the organization chart.”
Mary Sapp said they will both
be coming up with ideas and executing them.
“We will be working as a team,” she said.
Dr. William Butler, vice president for student affairs, said he was “delighted with President (Edward T.| Foote’s appointment of the Sapps.”
Butler also said they were free to act as co-masters and asserted that it was “an ideal arrangement.” He cited the masters of Pearson Residential College, Dr. Thompson and Mrs. Maureen Big-
gers, as an identical situation.
C. Dean Furman, a resident of Eaton, said the Sapps will bring a new sense of enthusiasm to the college.
“Dr. Sapp's style of leadership will be a change that will continue the great traditions of Eaton Residential College,” Furman said.
The Sapps have been at UM since fall 1981. They served as faculty fellows at Hecht during the 1983-84 academic year, when Please see page 5/MASTER
Weinberger criticizes War Powers Act
By LAURIE L. THOMAS
Assistant News Editor
Former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger told a UM audience Thursday that the legislative branch of government currently has an unfair amount of power.
Weinberger spoke to a capacity crowd of more than 600 at Gusman Concert Hall as part of the Charles E. Cobb Jr. Leadership Lecture Series, sponsored by the School of Business.
"At the moment there is a rather substantial, unfair tipping of power to Congress,” Weinberger said, referring to the War Powers
'Congress has too much authority at the expense of the executive branch.’

Act passed in 1972.
Continued Weinberger, the current publisher of Forbes magazine: “Congress has too much authority at the expense of the executive branch.”
Weinberger said he finds the War Powers Act “difficult to accept." The WPA states troops must be withdrawn from an occupied territory within 90 days unless a formal declaration of
war is made by the President and Congress approves the measure.
While the statute was enacted in response to Vietnam, Weinberger added he thinks the WPA is “unnecessary and unconstitutional," and said every U.S. President has thought the same thing.
“The War Powers Act usurps the power of the President," Weinberger said.
“Peace through strength is not
a motto,” said Weinberger. "It is a hard, vital, important fact for military strength. The President can’t be fettered while things are changing every year, every month, every day.
“Out of 200 situations, only six have been declarations of war,” Weinberger continued. “If we’re going to have a strong foreign policy, troops have to be Involved.”
According to Weinberger, however, there is a lesson America can learn from the Vietnam experience.

Students say SG irrelevant
ByYVONNE ALVAREZ
Staff Writer
For some students at the University of Miami, knowing the latest Student Government news is not a major concern.
As the controversy over the SG presidency continues, most students are unaware any problem exists.
The turmoil began after Liberty candidate Troy Bell was declared the winner of the March 23 and 24 SG elections with 58 percent of the vote. Bell defeated C. Dean Furman, presidential candidate on the Impact ticket.
SG’s supreme court later disqualified Bell for breaking campaign rules. However, the court later vacated its decision and remanded the case to SG’s election commission, which heard the case yesterday evening after The Miami Hurricane's deadline.
Lisa Bankson, a senior majoring in public relations, said, “I don’t really pay attention to Student Government. I know the presidency is up in the air, but I don’t know why.”
Gary Pelczer, a freshman, gave a similar response: “I read about it, but I'm not following
it.”
This apparent lack of interest was best illustrated by the 11 percent turnout for the recent SG election.
David Faerman, a senior majoring in industrial engineering, said of the turnout, “I think it’s kind of silly when only half of the 11 percent of the students can elect a president. It shows that there is a lack of a good reason to vote.”
Faerman said he didn’t vote because “I didn't see a difference between Troy or Dean. No changes are ever made on the promises they make.”
Current SG President Freddie Stebbins called the turnout “disappointing” and said several factors were Involved.
“The candidates didn’t take it (the election] very seriously,” stebbins said. “A lot was taken for granted.”
Despite the students’ lack of Involvement, many agree the events of the past few weeks
